Region 5 Cyber Planning Team

Public and private organizations across Region 5 are entrusted with sensitive and confidential information that include, but not limited to, Criminal Justice Information (CJI), Protected Health Information (PHI), Federal Tax Information (FTI), and Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Pierce County has established a regional Cyber Planning Team Strategy intended to align information security with operational strategy; to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements; to achieve industry standards; to manage, monitor, and mitigate information security risks and incidents; to optimize information security investments; to manage information security resources efficiently; and to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of the Cyber Planning Team campaign and subsequent programs.

The purpose of the Cyber Planning Team (CPT) is to provide guidance and recommendations to all disciplines and sectors within Region 5 (Tacoma-Pierce County) to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against acts of terrorism and other technological and human-caused events conducted through cyberspace. Guidance and recommendations will be in the form of planning, training, and exercises.

The initial campaign will be conducted over a period of 12 months, at the end of which the CPT will evolve into a Cyber Advisory Group for the Region.
